Walton Homes reports that footfall and strong interest for the collection of luxury apartments at The Lincombes in Mere Green has significantly improved, mirroring the heightened activity in the local marketplace as a whole. 

The first phase is now virtually sold out, while the nine one, two and three bedroom apartments in the second phase of The Lincombes - called Wellswood House - are priced between £184,950 to £495,000.

Nigel Deekes, partner at Acres Estate Agents in Sutton Coldfield and selling agent for The Lincombes comments: "There has been a marked improvement in the local Mere Green property market over the past six months and activity levels have really started to bubble since the snow cleared a few weeks ago. A lot of people were reluctant to move last year because there was so much uncertainty with the economy, however, the property market is out of the recession now and homeowners have the confidence that property prices have stabilised and appear to be on the way up. This is a great time to buy. 

"There are very few new homes available for sale in Mere Green or beyond and there is nothing that is comparable to The Lincombes. Benefits of buying a designer new home such as this include having a freshly decorated interior with brand new fixtures and fittings throughout, including a luxury kitchen and multiple bathrooms. Furthermore, each apartment comes with a 10 year NHBC guarantee giving purchasers complete peace of mind. When you consider the significant lifestyle benefits of living in a development such as this, the prices for the spacious apartments at The Lincombes really do offer tremendous value for money in the current market."  

The Lincombes development is situated on Lichfield Road, close to the Four Oaks Estate and the centre of Mere Green. Construction work is well underway and the first apartments in the second phase are expected to be build complete by late spring 2010. Walton Homes reports that this is the perfect time for purchasers to make specification choices and personalise their new home. 

As an incentive to buy while the second phase of the development is still under construction, Walton Homes is offering existing homeowners a Select & Move package. Purchasers are able to reserve their preferred plot for a 12 week period, during which time Walton Homes will appoint estate agents to market the purchaser's current home. Providing it is sold within this timeframe, Walton will cover the estate agent fees, significantly easing the upfront costs associated with moving home. 

Wellswood House, the second phase incorporates a single one bedroom apartment and three two bedroom apartments on the ground floor, four two bedroom apartments are located on the first floor and a spectacular three bedroom penthouse, measuring 2,225 sq ft covers the entirety of the second/top floor. Walton Homes is promoting a unique 'design your own penthouse' opportunity for the coveted top floor property, leaving the layout and design of the apartment up the personal preference of the buyer, who will be able to work with the developer's design team to create their perfect home.

All of the homes at The Lincombes have access to the landscaped and maintained communal gardens at the rear of the development. A number of the first floor apartments and the top floor penthouse also benefit from enviable views over the communal gardens and mature trees beyond. 

The showhome for The Lincombes development is the last remaining property available for sale in the first phase, called Torswood House. The spectacular duplex penthouse is incredibly spacious, offering 1,449 sq ft of space. The showhome is fully furnished, priced on application and available for immediate occupation.
